The surface at the leading section (1) of the pen, opposite the grip surface (5), is at the same gap from the main axis (11) as the outer surface of the pen barrel (10).

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Füllfederhalter mit einem Gehäuseteil, das ein in seinem vorderen Ende die Schreibfeder tragendes, in Umfangsrichtung konvex gekrümmte Griffflächen bildendes Vorderteil sowie einen mit dem Vorderteil lösbar verbundenen Halterschaft aufweist, der eine axiale Hauptachse hat, wobei eine die Hauptachse enthaltende und sich durch die Mitte der Federspitze erstreckende Ebene die Feder in axialer Richtung in zwei Hälften teilt.The invention relates to a fountain pen with a Housing part that has a nib in its front end load-bearing, convexly curved grip surfaces forming front part and one detachable with the front part connected holder shaft, which has an axial main axis has, with a containing the main axis and by the In the middle of the spring tip, the plane extends axially Divides direction in half.

Derartige Füllfederhalter sind von üblicher Bauart. Bei ihnen ist die äußere Umfangsfläche des Vorderteils normalerweise im Querschnitt kreisförmig, und die Mittelachse des Vorderteils verläuft koaxial zur Hauptachse, wobei üblicherweise Vorderteil und Halterschaft so geformt sind, daß sie zumindest im Bereich ihrer Verbindung übereinstimmende Außenformen haben, so daß der Übergang von Vorderteil zu Halterschaft optisch praktisch nicht wahrnehmbar ist.Fountain pens of this type are of a conventional design. With them is the outer peripheral surface of the front part normally in Cross section circular, and the central axis of the front part runs coaxially to the main axis, usually the front part and holder shaft are shaped so that they at least in the area their connection have matching external shapes, so that the Visually, the transition from the front part to the holder shaft is practically not is noticeable.

Diese bekannten Füllfederhalter haben insbesondere für Kinder den Nachteil, daß sie sich zwar in gleicher Weise wie ein Bleistift oder Kugelschreiber halten lassen, also in beliebiger Drehausrichtung des Vorderteils, daß es jedoch unbedingt erforderlich ist, das Vorderteil in einer bestimmten Ausrichtung zu halten, damit die Spitze der Schreibfeder sich in der richtigen Ausrichtung auf der Schreibunterlage befindet und in der gewünschten Weise über diese geführt werden kann.These known fountain pens have especially for children Disadvantage that they are in the same way as a pencil or hold a ballpoint pen, i.e. in any rotational orientation of the front part, however, that it is absolutely necessary is to keep the front part in a certain orientation, so the tip of the nib is in the correct orientation located on the desk pad and in the desired Way can be done about this.

Da dies zu Beginn der Benutzung eines Füllfederhalters offensichtlich eine erhebliche Schwierigkeit für den Benutzer darstellt, sind bereits Füllfederhalter bekannt, bei denen am Vorderteil Griffmulden ausgebildet sind, in die der Benutzer mit Zeigefinger, Daumen und Mittelfinger greifen kann, so daß sich eine bestimmte Ausrichtung des Vorderteils und damit der Schreibfederspitze bezüglich der Schreibunterlage ergibt. Abgesehen davon, daß Füllfederhalter mit derartigen Griffmulden für Linkshänder weitgehend ungeeignet sind, führt das Vorsehen der Griffmulden zu einer aufgezwungenen Schreibhaltung, die entweder eine Verkrampfung oder ein subjektiv unangenehmes Schreibgefühl verursachen kann.As this is obvious at the beginning of using a fountain pen a considerable difficulty for the user represents, fountain pens are already known, in which on Front part recessed grips are formed, in which the user with Index finger, thumb and middle finger can grip, so that a certain orientation of the front part and thus the Pen tip with respect to the desk pad results. Apart from the fact that fountain pens with such recessed grips the provision is largely unsuitable for left-handers the recessed grips to an imposed writing posture, the either a cramp or a subjectively uncomfortable one Can cause a feeling of writing.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Füllfederhalter zu schaffen, der sich in optimaler Weise im Gebrauch in eine für den Benutzer günstige Schreibstellung ausrichtet.It is an object of the invention to provide a fountain pen which is optimal in use in one for the user aligns favorable writing position.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird ein Füllfederhalter der eingangs erwähnten Art erfindungsgemäß derart ausgestaltet, daß ein in der Ebene liegender, sich axial erstreckender Griffflächenbereich einen geringeren Abstand von der Hauptachse hat als die Federspitze und zwischen der Hauptachse und einer Parallelen zu dieser durch die Federspitze liegt und daß der diesem Griffflächenbereich in der Ebene gegenüberliegende Bereich des Vorderteils im wesentlichen den gleichen Abstand von der Hauptachse hat wie die Außenfläche des Halterschaftes.To solve this problem, a fountain pen is the beginning mentioned type designed according to the invention such that a in Level, axially extending grip surface area has a smaller distance from the main axis than the spring tip and between the main axis and a parallel to it through the spring tip and that this gripping surface area area of the front part in the plane opposite is substantially the same distance from the main axis as that Outer surface of the holder shaft.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Füllfederhalter ist somit das konvex gekrümmte Griffflächen aufweisende Vorderteil so ausgebildet, daß der in der Schreibstellung untere Bereich des Vorderteils, der auf dem Mittelfinger aufliegt, im wesentlichen entsprechend dem Halterschaft geformt ist, während der in der Schreibstellung oben liegende Bereich des Vorderteils einen Griffflächenbereich aufweist, der der Hauptachse des Halterschaftes näher liegt als die Federspitze. Dadurch ergibt sich eine Halterung in diesem Griffflächenbereich, die vergleichbar einer Bockrolle, die auf der Schreibunterlage aufliegende Federspitze hinter sich herzieht, so daß eine gewisse Ausrichtkraft wirkt, die zumindest bei lockerer Schreibhaltung eine Verdrehung des Vorderteils in die optimale Schreibstellung bewirkt oder zumindest fördert. Diese Drehung wird im übrigen dadurch ermöglicht, daß die in Berührung mit dem Zeigefinger und dem Daumen kommenden Griffflächen nicht die Form von Griffmulden haben, die eine Verdrehung des Vorderteils bezüglich der Finger blockieren würden, sondern konvex gekrümmt sind, so daß eine Verdrehung bezüglich der Finger möglich wird.In the fountain pen according to the invention it is thus convex curved grip surfaces front part designed so that the lower part of the front part in the writing position, the rests on the middle finger, essentially according to the Holder shaft is shaped while in the writing position above lying area of the front part a grip area has, which is closer to the main axis of the holder shaft than the feather tip. This results in a holder in this Grip surface area that is comparable to a fixed castor that is on the pen tip resting on the desk pad behind pulls so that a certain alignment force acts, at least if the writing position is loose, the front part is twisted in the optimal writing position causes or at least promotes. This rotation is made possible by the fact that in Touch with the index finger and thumb coming grip surfaces not in the form of recessed grips that have a twist of the front part would block with respect to the fingers, but are convexly curved so that twisting with respect to the fingers becomes possible.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung liegt bzw. liegen der bzw. die Krümmungsmittelpunkte von in Umfangsrichtung zu beiden Seiten an den in der Ebene liegenden Griffflächenbereich anschließenden Flächenbereiche auf der der Federspitze abgewandten Seite einer die Hauptachse enthaltenden, senkrecht zur Ebene angeordneten Querebene, und die Flächenbereiche sind vorzugsweise symmetrisch zur Ebene angeordnet. Auf diese Weise verlaufen also die Flächenbereiche weniger stark gekrümmt als die Umfangsfläche des Halterschaftes.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, lie the center of curvature or in the circumferential direction on both sides of the handle area in the plane adjoining surface areas on the spring tip opposite side of a vertical axis containing the main axis transverse to the plane, and the surface areas are preferably arranged symmetrically to the plane. In this way the surface areas are less curved than that Circumferential surface of the holder shaft.

Die an den Griffflächenbereich anschließenden Flächenbereiche erstrecken sich vorzugsweise über 2/3 bis 3/4 des Umfangs des Vorderteils, so daß dieser Bereich für den Eingriff von Zeigefinger und Daumen zur Verfügung steht, während sich der übrige Bereich des Vorderteils auf dem Mittelfinger abstützen kann.The surface areas adjoining the grip surface area preferably extend over 2/3 to 3/4 of the circumference of the Front part, so that this area for the engagement of the index finger and thumb is available while the rest Can support the area of the front part on the middle finger.

Der in der Ebene liegende Griffflächenbereich und an ihn in Umfangsrichtung anschließende Flächenbereiche gehen an ihrem axial vorderen Ende im Abstand vom vorderen Ende des Vorderteils vorzugsweise in eine konkav gekrümmte, radial nach außen verlaufende Fläche über, die als Anlagefläche insbesondere für den Zeigefinger dient, so daß eine definierte axiale Position des Füllfederhalters in der Hand erreicht wird.The handle surface area lying in the plane and to it in Surface areas adjoining the circumferential direction go on their axially front end at a distance from the front end of the front part preferably in a concave curve, radially outward running area above, which is used as a contact surface especially for serves the index finger, so that a defined axial position of the Fountain pen is reached in the hand.

Der dargestellte Füllfederhalter kann beispielsweise ein Patronen-Füllfederhalter sein, wie er in der parallelen Gebrauchsmusteranmeldung "Schreibgerät" (Anwaltsakte: G 46239) beschrieben ist. Der Füllfederhalter hat ein Vorderteil 1, aus dem vorn in für Füllfederhalter üblicher Weise ein Teil eines Tintenleiters 4 vorsteht, der in nicht gezeigter Weise mit einem weiter hinten liegenden Tintenvorratsraum, etwa einer Tintenpatrone in Verbindung steht. Auf dem Tintenleiter 4 ist eine Feder 2 angeordnet, die mit ihrem hinteren Abschnitt in dem vorderen Ende des Vorderteils 1 klemmend gehalten wird und die an ihrem freien Ende eine in Berührung mit der Schreibunterlage zu bringende Federspitze 3 aufweist. Auf das hintere Ende des Vorderteils 1 ist in ebenfalls üblicher Weise ein Halterschaft 10 aufgeschraubt, dessen axiale Hauptachse 11 koaxial zur Achse des vorderen, ringförmigen Endabschnittes des Vorderteils 1 verläuft, aus dem Feder 2 und Tintenleiter 4 vorstehen.The fountain pen shown can be, for example Cartridge fountain pen as in the parallel utility model application "Writing instrument" (attorney's file: G 46239) is described. The fountain pen has a front part 1, from the front in the usual way for fountain pens part of a Ink guide 4 protrudes, in a manner not shown with a Ink supply space further back, such as an ink cartridge communicates. On the ink conductor 4 is one Spring 2 arranged with its rear portion in the front end of the front part 1 is held clamped and the at its free end one in contact with the writing pad spring tip 3 to be brought. On the rear end of the Front part 1 is also a holder shaft 10 in the usual way screwed, the axial main axis 11 coaxial to the axis of the front, annular end section of the front part 1, protrude from the spring 2 and ink line 4.

Das Vorderteil 1 hat an der Oberseite, also an der Seite, an der auch die Feder 2 angeordnet ist, einen sich axial erstreckenden Griffflächenbereich 5, der in einer Ebene 12 liegt, die die Hauptachse 11 des Halterschaftes und auch die Federspitze 3 enthält und die die Feder 2 in Längsrichtung in zwei Hälften teilt. Dieser Griffflächenbereich 5 befindet sich in einem Abstand von der Hauptachse 11, der um den in Figur 1 angedeuteten Betrag a kleiner als der Abstand der Federspitze 3 von der Hauptachse 11 ist, d.h. der Griffflächenbereich 5 liegt in der Darstellung gemäß Figur 1 tiefer als die Federspitze 3 und entsprechend auch tiefer als der in der Ebene 12 und an der Oberseite in Figur 1 liegende Bereich des Halterschaftes 10. Vom Griffflächenbereich 5 erstrecken sich zu beiden Seiten und symmetrisch zur Ebene 12 konvexe Flächenbereiche 6, 7, die zusammen etwa 2/3 bis 3/4 des Umfanges des Vorderteils im Bereich des Griffflächenbereiches 5 ausmachen und an einer Umfangsfläche 8 des Vorderteils enden, die an der Unterseite (Figuren 1 und 2) des Vorderteils liegt und deren Krümmung etwa derjenigen des Halterschaftes 10 entspricht. Die Umfangsfläche 8 geht in axialer Richtung im wesentlichen kontinuierlich in die benachbarte Fläche des Halterschaftes 10 über. Die Krümmung der Flächenbereiche 6, 7 ist größer als die Krümmung der Umfangsfläche des Halterschaftes 10, und die Flächenbereiche 6, 7 können parabelförmig oder elliptisch geformt sein.The front part 1 has on the top, that is on the side, on the also the spring 2 is arranged, an axially extending Grip surface area 5, which lies in a plane 12 which the Main axis 11 of the holder shaft and also the spring tip 3 contains and which the spring 2 in the longitudinal direction in two halves Splits. This gripping surface area 5 is located in one Distance from the main axis 11, the one indicated in Figure 1 Amount a less than the distance of the spring tip 3 from the Major axis 11, i.e. the grip area 5 lies in the Representation according to Figure 1 deeper than the spring tip 3 and accordingly also deeper than that in level 12 and on the Area of the holder shaft 10 located in FIG. 1 Grip surface area 5 extend to both sides and symmetrical to the plane 12 convex surface areas 6, 7, the together about 2/3 to 3/4 of the circumference of the front part in the area of the gripping surface area 5 and on a peripheral surface 8 of the front end, the bottom (Figures 1 and 2) of the front part and its curvature is approximately that of Holder shaft 10 corresponds. The peripheral surface 8 is axial Direction essentially continuously into the adjacent area the holder shaft 10 over. The curvature of the surface areas 6, 7 is larger than the curvature of the peripheral surface of the holder shaft 10, and the surface areas 6, 7 can be parabolic or be elliptical.

Es sei erwähnt, daß das Vorderteil 1 eine im Querschnitt kreisförmige Durchgangsöffnung mit der Mittelachse 9 hat, in die sich in nicht dargestellter Weise der Tintenleiter 4 erstreckt. Die Mittelachse 9 ist, wie in den Figuren 1 und 2 gezeigt, gegenüber der Hauptachse 11 in der Mittelebene 12 versetzt.It should be mentioned that the front part 1 is a cross section has circular through opening with the central axis 9, in the the ink conductor 4 extends in a manner not shown. The central axis 9 is, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, offset from the main axis 11 in the central plane 12.

Am vorderen Ende des Griffflächenbereichs 5 steigt dieser im Abstand vom vorderen Ende des Vorderteils 1 mit einer konkaven Fläche 5' radial nach außen an, und entsprechend sind auch nicht dargestellte Übergänge in den benachbarten Abschnitten der Flächenbereiche 6, 7 vorhanden, so daß sich sowohl für den Zeigefinger als auch für den Daumen eine Anlagefläche ergibt, die die axiale Positionierung des Füllfederhalters in der Hand bewirkt. Es sei erwähnt, daß auch am hinteren Ende von Griffflächenbereich 5 und Flächenbereichen 6, 7 ein ähnlicher Übergang ausgebildet ist.At the front end of the gripping surface area 5, it rises in Distance from the front end of the front part 1 with a concave Surface 5 'radially outwards, and are not corresponding shown transitions in the adjacent sections of the Surface areas 6, 7 available, so that both for the Index finger as well as for the thumb results in a contact surface that the axial positioning of the fountain pen in the hand causes. It should be mentioned that also at the rear end of the grip area 5 and surface areas 6, 7 a similar transition is trained.

In der Schreibstellung ruhen Daumen und Zeigefinger des Benutzers auf Flächenbereich 6 und Flächenbereich 7, während sich der Halterschaft 10 im Verbindungsbereich der Hand zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger abstützt und das Vorderteil 1 mit der Fläche 8 auf dem Mittelfinger ruht. In dieser Lage befindet sich die Federspitze 3 wegen des Abstandes a (Figur 1) oberhalb der Angriffsbereiche der Finger und somit bei der Bewegung der Schreibspitze 3 über die Schreibunterlage in einer gegenüber den Fingerangriffsbereichen versetzten Lage, in der die Federspitze 3 nach Art einer Bockrolle bezogen auf die als Drehachse wirkende Hauptachse 11 "gezogene" Stellung einnimmt, so daß sich, wie bei einer Bockrolle eine gewisse Anpassung der Lage und der Ausrichtung der Federspitze an die Ziehrichtung des Füllfederhalters ergibt, die durch den Angriff der Finger am Vorderteil nicht entscheidend beeinträchtigt wird.The user's thumb and index finger rest in the writing position to area 6 and area 7, while the Holder shaft 10 in the connection area of the hand between the thumb and index finger and the front part 1 with the surface 8 resting on the middle finger. This is the situation Spring tip 3 because of the distance a (Figure 1) above the Areas of attack of the fingers and thus in the movement of the Writing tip 3 over the writing pad in one opposite the Finger attack areas offset position in which the spring tip 3 in the manner of a fixed castor based on the one acting as the axis of rotation Main axis 11 "pulled" position, so that, as in a fixed role a certain adjustment of the position and the orientation the nib to the direction of the fountain pen does not result from the attack of the fingers on the front part is significantly affected.
